Logo Design & Branding
This logo and brand expresses the stability, openness and approachability of the Council while featuring a multitude of colorful shapes that celebrate the mosaic of cultures coming together from around the world.
The Global Report / Brochure Design
As part of the organization's mission to increase global awareness in the Columbus region, CCWA releases The Global Report every other year.
The 2016–2017 report was created in collaboration with Columbus Research Partners and features infographics that highlight the global fluency of the Greater Columbus region in a way that is easy to understand. Acting as a template for years after, the report includes statistics about global trade, world languages in schools and Columbus’ increasingly diverse demographics.
This trifold brochure also includes a large map, which highlights the international engagements of Greater Columbus-based companies and institutions.
Logo Design & Branding
The Global Fluency Training and the Global Scholars Diploma programs were developed by CCWA as products to educate professionals and high school students, respectively, on global fluency. The Global Fluency Institute was established by the Council to take these programs national.
CCWA / Website Design
CCWA's brand and values are upheld by the fonts, colors and easy-to-access layout throughout the site. The translation functionality allows the user to switch between languages, reflecting the organization’s commitment to cultural inclusivity.
The calendar of events is categorized by program type and featured on the homepage. Upcoming events automatically become past events when the date has passed, which saves valuable time for the CCWA’s staff. The modular approach throughout the site allows for easy updates as the organization’s programs grow and evolve
Global Fluency Institute / Website Design
With a modular design, colorful graphics and bright imagery of people, this site successfully explains the ‘why,’ ‘what’ and ‘how’ of both the Global Fluency Training and Global Scholars Diploma programs offered by the organization. It also features a calendar of upcoming events and an archive of The Global Report.
The Global Fluency Quiz provides the user with an opportunity to test their own knowledge of the world—emphasizing the need for these trainings.
These projects were completed while at Ibel Agency.
